OBJ-Atiku, Government and Compensation for Nigerians from Libya
We know that since Muammar al-Qaddafi took over the realms of governance in Libya over a generation ago despotism has been the norm in governance in that country; and on the international scene he represented anything repugnant. With a rule at home and world-view so off-putting, Libya has consequently been a pariah state for a long, long time. Recently, however, there became a seeming turning point when Condoleezza Rice (with the special role played by Saif Qaddafi, Qaddafi’s son) and Tony Blair helped to open the doors of the nations to Muammar Qaddafi, as world leaders started stretching out cautious hands to Libya.
The recent face-off in Libya has now opened up again the nasty pages of Qaddafi’s past. And, of course, Libya is a well told story of monstrosity! So, what on earth should attract Nigerians to such a place? Nothing! What took Nigerians to Libya? Really, nothing!
With bad governance at home many people jumped off the ship of state thinking of making it to Europe. That is, they were pushed as it were by bad governance at home. Failing to make it to Europe, this is how they found themselves in the lion’s den. Put elaborately: Imagine them sailing in our national ship (the one all of us call Nigeria) and the ship is set on fire, unquenchable fire; unquenchable because it is the captains of this ship themselves that not only occasioned the fire but should proffer solution which they have no clue of or know nothing about. So this group of scary Nigerians took what they thought was a leap of life, but alas! They went from the frying pan to fire. The captains of our national ship and the fire they kindled caused that. No Nigerian with his two eyes opened went to Libya to rake out a living. Therefore, from their sorry stay there these years to this awful climax of return can only be accounted for by our self-styled leaders, especially those who camped in Aso Rock between 1999 and 2007. They caused the tormenting fire and heat that our compatriots went through in Libya, and we reason that they should pay for it anyway possible.
And by the way, should Nigerians be running away to Europe? Should they if we have the Obafemi Awolowos, Jerry Rawlings (Ghana) and Seretse Khama Ian Khama (Botswana) here with us to turn the country around with its huge resources? The good legacy Seretse Khama, founder of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), bequeathed to Botswana after he left office and died in 1979 and 1980 respectively is today well managed. Quett Ketumile Joni Masire, Festus Mogae, and Seretse Khama Ian Khama, son of Seretse Khama, who came after him in that order, did near excellent jobs. Today Botswana, a landlocked country, is an epitome of good governance and economic growth with all indexes of development steadily moving up; and that is besides maintaining the longest continuous multiparty democracy in Africa. Well, I didn’t say we should not be going to Europe. ‘Running away to Europe’ is the phrase, and there is a world of difference between both. Today, Botswanans don’t run to Europe or run away to Europe: Just as Europe come to Botswana, so they go to Europe! And, of course, Libya is not their route.
And really: if not for unexplainable high spirit of patriotism shared by Nigerians except their leaders, what should we be doing here in Nigeria when in eight years all infrastructures collapsed, and economic activities at best a tedious routine. For eight prosperous years Aviation Ministry, Obasanjo/Borishade and our airplanes gave us more deaths than can ever be imagined. Despite the untold amount Obasanjo/Anenih took to supposedly put into our roads they were, at the end, worse than before 1999. We had no water to drink. The health sector that gulped so much could not even take care of a minor ache in Atiku’s leg. OBJ-Atiku even went buying state-of-the-art-machines for our teaching hospitals only to discover there were not enough professionals to handle them. The education sector so ran aground that Ghana became a haven and salvaging destination. And power: Paralysis! You can go on and on; and yet each of these ministries or departments ‘received’ yearly unequaled allocations, historically speaking.
Bad leadership in the midst of plenty is bane of this nation, and undoing of these Nigerians from Libya. Why did they take the leap of death? You will hear stories of poverty, hunger, impoverishment and all their synonyms. Given what God has graciously and abundantly given to this nation no Nigerian should pass that noxious road if there is good and conscientious management of our resources. How did they get to Libya? It is the story of porous borders where there should really be no porous borders in Nigeria, for under OBJ-Atiku we had more than enough to secure our borders. What happened to the 1999-2007 unceasing oil wind-falls!
And by the way, is Gadaffi not a better leader than OBJ/Atiku? How many Libyans are in Nigeria? Are they in their thousands? If they are, are they doing the jobs Nigerians do in Libya? Are we not both oil producing and exporting nations? What is wrong with Nigeria? Sorry: Nothing! What is wrong with the leaders? Everything! And it is so because they are self-styled and make belief leaders. At least that is what OBJ/Atiku robustly was and is.
OBJ-Atiku put all our monies into the power sector but it was apparent not so much got there eventually. Much of that money streamed off from main channel. At the end of the day there was no power. This money that gave us zero power could, under men like Awolowo, give us more than the needed power requirement of all sectors of the economy. So while some individuals soared in wealth (our wealth), the industrial sector is totally in shambles. The result: Exodus! Many Nigerians were pushed to go raking out a living wherever they could. Many took off from the ship called Nigeria, some plunged into troubled seas and the waves took them to places such as Libya, Somalia and Yemen.
OBJ-Atiku could not resuscitate ailing industries they met on ground, could not drive the ones they met thriving but added them to the ailing list. Then they thought out a ‘solution’: They ‘partition’ our industries and parastatals among themselves and friends. They partition our commonwealth! And we watched them scrambling for the various parts. This Berlin revisited, again, multiplied the fire that increased the number of Nigerians that were pushed out of the country.
OBJ and Atiku finally killed the middle-class; they killed the engine of national growth. By this too they bloated the lower class which has to contend for elusive resources. Again, the result was that Nigerians started a shift to our borders which in any case are ever porous, and they drifted away from there.
Compare the wealth of OBJ when he walked out of the prison to Ota with when he walked from Aso Rock to this same Ota (after collecting almost everything he forgot at Dodan Barracks and actually wanted to add whatever he thinks remains with a third term agenda). Even though Atiku and his friends would want to tell you that he (Atiku) may well be as rich as Dangote before he bonded with OBJ in their affront to our nation, we know today of Atiku’s economic empire with intimidating network home and abroad that was not his by 1999. And their friends are no less rich. Not that they can boast of any Carlos Smith in their ancestry whose wealth or estate they inherited. And you hardly see the industries they put up here at home to give good jobs; rather they are helping to develop already developed climes. The result of this double evil is the exodus of our people.
Since Goodluck Jonathan has refused to probe OBJ/Atiku, let him plead with the duo to surrender the ‘articles’ they may have over-collected from Aso Rock when OBJ went back there to collect the things he forgot; and let him (Jonathan) share them among these returnees from Libya, and with the rest of us too. If that fails let him tell the duo to be philanthropic enough to allow these Nigerians from Libya get paid-up shares in their groups; after all we all ordinarily co-own those things you know!
But more seriously, let Jonathan with or without the pair that bastardized our nation, economy and lives those eight horrible years do something very tangible for these returnees we put in this sorry state in the first! And from henceforth let’s leaders bring conscience into governance. Learn this lesson, and the returnees from Libya and indeed all exploited and endangered Nigerians will not have suffered in vain.

Damaged Care - $24.99 Damaged Care is fact-based drama about the managed care industry. It originally aired on Showtime. Laura Dern co-produced and stars in the film as Dr. Linda Peeno, who gives up her career after earning a medical degree, so that she can take care of her family. Her husband, Doug (James LeGros), is a successful OB/GYN. In 1987, when their children (from previous marriages) have gotten a little older, Linda decides to return to work, and gets a job as a medical reviewer at Humana Health Care. Patient claims that aren’t approved by the UR (utilization review) nurses are forwarded to the doctors on the medical review team, who, Linda learns, are expected to rubber-stamp the UR nurses’ decisions. Every decision Linda makes to cover a patient’s care is questioned, sometimes angrily. The head of the UR department, Cheryl Griffith (Regina King) befriends Linda, and shares her unhappiness with the system. Linda has a crisis of conscience when she gets a call about an emergency heart transplant that needs immediate approval. Pressured by the company, she finds an out in the employer’s healthcare booklet, and denies the claim. The patient dies. Eventually, Linda quits Humana (angering Doug), and Cheryl gets her a job at a smaller, non-profit company, Brothers Managed Care. The system is pretty much the same, though, and Linda comes into conflict with the cost-conscious head of the UR nurses, Gemma Coombs (Michelle Clunie). When a nurse (Suki Kaiser) is stricken with a series of crippling strokes, Linda takes a stand against the company to get her the treatment she needs. Eventually, Dr. Linda Peeno gets out of the system, and becomes an outspoken critic of the abuses of the health care industry. Dern’s mother, Diane Ladd, and Adam Arkin also appear in the film. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi |

Ghana: Music of the Northern Tribes $14.99 Instrumental and vocal music on social and religious themes. Recorded on location in 1976.Personnel: Akurugu (vocals); Michael Bazoroviireh (xylophone); Yamgbalga (drums).Recording information: GHANA.Unknown Contributor Role: Dagarti Dacing.One of many field recordings capturing the wealth of Africa’s roots music, this Lyrichord compilation focuses on the tribes of northern Ghana, a region whose arid landscape contrasts sharply with the country’s more fertile coastal regions. Like high-profile releases on the Nonesuch label, this impressive collection benefits from clean sound and a varied program. The disc takes in the music of several tribes, including the Muslim Mamprusi and Kusasi and the Christian Dagarti and Frafra. Free of any of the wind instruments or sundry percussion prevalent in the region, the first two cuts spotlight the longstanding drum and vocal tradition of the Mamprusi and Grunshi with call-and-response pieces full of rough-toned singing and the sounds of the village where the recordings were made. Varying the tonal textures, the next two pieces feature singers accompanying themselves with a calabash rattle (siyari) and a bowed lute (gonje), respectively; while the first performer delivers some amazingly spry and complex rhythms on the rattle, the second singer overwhelms the listener with an impassioned vocal performance. More textures arise listening to a Dagarti ensemble comprised of three xylophone players and another one featuring drums, flutes, and singers. Not for fans expecting studio slick worldbeat or even Ghana’s popular guitar highlife music, but a rewarding listen for those comfortable with the gruff sound of field recordings. ~ Stephen Cook |

Matthew Cohen: Qi Gong Fire and Water - $14.99 Qi Gong constitutes an ancient form of exercise used to generate health, balance and vitality in its practitioners; it is consequently invaluable for relieving stress. Matthew Cohen represents one of the world’s foremost experts on this practice; he headlines the instructional release Matthew Cohen: Qi Gong Fire and Water, in which he primes participants on the basics of the practice with two fundamental Qi Gong exercises. The first, christened ‘Fire,’ emulates its titular element by imbuing the body with heat and strength, purging out toxins, relieving depression and expanding the range and scope of the five senses. The second, christened ‘Water,’ mirrors the effect of H2O by relaxing one’s central nervous system, increasing muscular flexibility, generating inner grace and relaxation and relieving anxiety. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi |

It’s In The Water - $19.99 A hidden well of gay-lesbian culture comes bubbling to the surface of a small Western town in this independent comedy/drama. In the Texas town of Azalea Springs, life for the most part still seems stuck in the 1950s; the women have big hair, they join the Junior League, and they don’t buck the status quo. Also, homosexuality is something that just isn’t talked about, so many of the townspeople are shocked when Hope House, a hospice for AIDS patients, opens in their little town. Alexandra “Alex” Stratton (Keri Jo Chapman), who is stuck in an unhappy marriage with her boorish husband Robert (Matthew S. Thompkins) and has an overbearing and prejudiced mom, Lily Talbot (Barbara Lasater), decides to volunteer at the hospice, which scandalizes most of the other ladies of the League. Alex soon discovers that her best friend from high school, Grace Miller (Teresa Garrett), is working there as a nurse; Grace recently went through a difficult divorce when her husband discovered that Grace was having an affair with one of her co-workers…who happened to be female. Alex soon finds herself looking at Grace in a new way, and friendship gives way to something much deeper. Meanwhile, Spencer (John Hallum), a very out-of-the-closet friend of Alex’s, begins joking with people that homosexuality is being spread by something in the town’s water supply. With Alex and Grace’s affair the hot item in the town’s gossip mill and newspaperman Mark (Derrick Sanders) falling in love with artist Thomas (Timothy Vahle), this witticism finds its way to many gullible ears, and fire and brimstone preacher Brother Daniel (John Addington) forms “Homo-No-Mo,” a support group for gay men who want to return to the straight and narrow, so to speak. The supporting cast features Jerry Haynes, best known as “Mr. Peppermint,” the host of a syndicated children’s television series; he’s also the father of Gibby Haynes, sometimes film actor and lead singer for the alternative rock band The Butthole Surfers. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |

Walk on Water – Widescreen Subtitle AC3 Dolby $12.99 An Israeli agent with a license to kill is thrown off his game by two people who challenge his deeply held assumptions in this drama. Eyal (Lior Ashkenazi) is an agent with Mossad, the Israeli intelligence and security force. A man capable of making snap moral judgments but unwilling to reveal his emotions, Eyal has been burying himself in his often bloody work since the death of his wife. Eyal’s latest assignment is to try to learn the whereabouts of a Nazi war criminal; as it happens, his granddaughter Pia (Carolina Peters) is in Israel spending time on a kibbutz, and when he learns that her brother Axel (Knut Berger) is coming to visit her, Eyal goes undercover as a tour guide in order to get to know them without arousing suspicion. Eyal finds himself taken with Pia, who displays a warmth and openness he’s never expected to find in a German. At the same time, Eyal discovers Axel is gay and doesn’t care who knows about it, and as Eyal gets to know him he finds himself torn between his genuine fondness for Axel and his long-standing homophobia. Walk on Water was directed by Eytan Fox, who earned international acclaim for his story of two gay men in the Israeli army, Yossi & Jagger. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |
